Orienteering (Warranine Brook) 1:10:39 [3] *** 5.7 km (12:24 / km) +200m 10:33 / km

I was a bit tired after travelling to WA, and had a late start in the warm sun, but I still really enjoyed myself. This was just the right length for me, and the bush and landscape was just so pretty at this time of year. I took a bit too long getting to 3, going off my bearing and ending up on the creek south of the control, but I quickly realised what I'd done once I oriented my map properly and discovered the creek going at a 90 degree angle to the one I thought I was on. I also took a long time on the long leg, just purely from being unfit, really, and staying a bit too high when contouring around the hill. I ended up too far down the hill at 8, but managed the rest of the controls quite well. I was happy with my time and it gave me false hope for the relay the next day... :)
